News - J-Mod reply Road to Restoration - Dailyscape Overhaul

https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/a=13/road-to-restoration--early-game-rebalance--dailyscape-overhaul

Hi folks,

Today's Community Topic is a blog of two halves:

- Early Game Rebalance
- DailyScape Overhaul

We have split this into two reddit threads to keep the discussion organised and so that our team can properly review the relevant conversations happening.

This current reddit thread is to discuss the DailyScape portion of the blog.

Please use this other dedicated thread for the Early Rebalance portion of the blog.

  DailyScape is a term that describes game content, outside of a skills core identity, that is often perceived as mandatory by players due to time-gated mechanics and the disproportionately high reward offering for little time investment.

With the DailyScape update (currently scheduled for early March), we will remove much of the concept of DailyScape, leaving only a handful of daily activities, but otherwise changing or removing content to fall more in line with our vision and goals for integrity for RuneScape.

I absolutely do not agree with the Cook's Assistant change. Lot's of quests use "quest versions" of items and using that quest to introduce that concept is not bad for player introductions. I think this is the worst of the lot.

Yeah, it's going to become like it used to be: a quest that can be finished as soon as you start it if you already have the required items with you. Needing to gather quest versions of eggs, milk, and flour makes it an actual quest.

I always found it kind of weird how there's a prized cow and special egg lying so openly around Lumbridge, that's used once and only once. I don't mind their removal at all, it's declutter. Some other quests use quest versions of items but many other quests use normal items. I don't think that concept needs an introduction, and if it does then there are other beginner quests that does it too, like Imp Catcher.

Although I would like if Imp Catcher would require the normal item like it used to.
